He nods at her sentiment and purses his lips against her gentle kiss. Resting his hand over hers, he sighs. “I know.. I don’t think I could either. Eventually, maybe. But obviously right now we have more important things to deal with.” His thumb runs over the back of her hand soothingly as he gazes down at her. “We don’t need to do anything. Just a thought.” He reasons, bringing her hand to his lips.

Once he replaces it on his chest again, he shakes his head. “He found the lion and he’s just laying in Julian’s bed with the dogs. Don’t know how long he’s been in there, but I don’t know if I have the heart to make him leave.” He sighs and rubs the fresh tears burning at his eyes. He can’t lose it again. He feels as though he’s been crying non stop for the past fifteen hours.

       At his words, Ally shakes her head and takes a deep breath to settle her emotions as she looks up at him. “Julian wouldn’t want us to do that,” she says softly, before letting out a heavy sigh. If hiding out in Julian’s room made him feel closer to his brother, she didn’t have it in her to stop that. With a slight dip of her head, she rests her cheek against Larry, her eyes falling closed.

“You’re right though, there’s too much to deal with right now… somehow, we’ve got to figure out how to get through that first.” She says, her lips quivering slightly as she pulls back from him slightly, before reaching up to stroke his hair back. “I’m going to go downstairs and make some coffee… and uh, I should probably call Nathan and let him know. I don’t want Lucas to find out about Julian while he’s at school.” Ally says, the tension in her features showing that she was also struggling to keep herself together.
